sweetness turns to anger
gentleness into rage
from one to another in an instant
like the turning of the page
an irrational insanity
that cuts into me like a knife
bleeding pain inside of me
draining me of my life
i’ve heard so many words
normal folks telling me what i should do
ideas and speculations all saying
this is what is wrong with you
i’ve tried to change this dark heart
so many times and many ways, but
it never seems to take hold; sadly
the anger and obsessions stay
and it gets to be very cold; still
i search the examples set before us
the standards of past ages supreme
to follow the upward path so perilous
and make a turn that’s extreme
to resist the loneliness, pain and
sadness that surround me
the anger and rage that burns inside
to stop the forces that invade me
at the river of agony where I died
flood waters wash me down helplessly
into the ravine of tremendous sorrow
and exquisite pain that spreads like disease
sown with the bitter seeds of pain and terror
reaping a harvest of constant unease
as i search for a way out
of the nightmare’s last stand
